Ah! Probably this is how they managed to go from 7 to 3 without making it
obvious. prior to the last minute people were being interviewed so maybe
that's why the 7 second delay. And as someone else pointed out maybe they
needed a 3 second delay in case Clark blurted out some profanity. I know I
would have if I had that creep from American idol so close to me.
